Carnival float, probably late 40's or early 50's, featuring models of Monarch and Rumania which could have been made of wood by Clifton Slipways. It apparently appeared in a Gravesend May Day parade and also the London Lord Mayors Show. Info from George Boyd. Photo STL colln.

A 1926 letter from John Stewart Wartkins to Captain Jonathan Russell. Presumably refers to the General Strike of that year and offers an insight into the thinking of the time. Document courtesy Harold Russell.

Another rare gem courtesy of Harold Russell. Originally an article in "The Empire Illustrated" magazine it was republished as a separate supplement, bearing the cover shown above. Comprising only four double sided, almost tabloid sized, pages it contained quite a lot of information, much of which was to re-emerge ten years later in Frank Bowens book.

A Statement made by Captain J. Russell to the Union Castle Steamship Co after he witnessed the events described in 1925. Courtesy Harold Russell.
